Default Aftermarket electric fans - Dorman, Depo, TYC?
Anyone have experience with any of the aftermarket e-fan mfgs? I can get a new set from one of these for about the same price as a junkyard set of OEM fans, but I'm wondering about the build quality. I read some reviews on the Dorman fans on Amazon and there were a couple of complaints about the motors pulling way more current than they were spec'd for. Anyone?

I choose used OEM over aftermarket, makes me feel better. That being said, rezintexas said he's been using the Dorman fans with no issues whatsoever.

I have installed a bunch of TYC's and a handful of Dorman. I never had any problems with any of them.

Great, thanks guys. The TYC's have the best deal for Amazon Prime members, I think I'll go ahead and order a set.

PM sent.

I ended up finding a cheap junkyard set of fans for $130, and the same yard had a 145 amp alternator for $45 so I just went and got both from them.
